How do I get a certificate of completion?
Answer:
Your "state-approved" Affidavit of Completion (DR 2956) will be mailed to the address that you have indicated to us during registration. If you have moved, you'll need to update that immediately by sending a request to techsupport@costech.com.

Once we have processed this form, you will receive an email telling you to go to your login site and print a coverletter describing the rest of the process as well as a Certificate of completion that you keep for your records only.

If I finish all the tests do I still have to have 30 hours?
Answer:
Yes! As stated in the Agreement, you must log at least 30 hours in this program, as well as complete all the requirements in order to receive a certificate. However, it is unlikely that you will.   If you begin to fall short on time, we will email you.

4. New students
What are some tips and suggestions for new students?
     

• Use Internet Explorer
• Reading: The majority of your 30 hours is accumulated from reading. If you skip or don’t completely read the pages, you WILL be short on time, not allowing you to access the final exam. The program logs your time on each page.
• Use the prompts at the end of the topic pages to access, workbook, quizzes, and tests.
• Use internal mail for faster responses regarding issues.
• Log out each time
• DO NOT try to print the textbook or workbook. You DO NOT get credit for time spent offline. You can go Log in and out as many times as needed.

5. Payment (late Payments)
I did not pay during the registration process, can I go back now and do this, and how do I do this?
